October 16 = Grammy & Gramps Day

Zachary has duty tomorrow so my parents came in because number 1- they miss their babies and 2- I could use their help!  They left around 8am so they got in around 2pm and brought lots of Halloween goodies- the cutest little buckets and lots of candy and games.  But first- we had to get our day started.  Malia woke up with her care bear close.

Malia loves getting in this chair by herself- look at that face.

Solar powered pumpkin and Frankenstein- Malia loved loved loved watching them bobble around.

I can't remember if I mentioned that last week when preparing for the midshipmen dinner at our house, I attempted to make cupcakes.  I knew I was doubling the recipe so when I saw I needed a cup of water, I doubled it.  I need two cups.  Then I forgot I had already doubled it and decided I needed four cups of water.  Four cups of water with two boxes of cake mix is not a good thing.  I poured that down the sink and Zachary ran to Graul's and picked up some cookies.  But I really, really wanted cupcakes.  And still did the next day, and the next and the next.  So I decided to finally make some today since I had some people to share them with.  Liam decided he'd be the first person to share the cupcakes with me and sneakily grabbed one when no one was looking.
